Halloween

So what does everybody give out for Halloween? I have some good stuff, Snickers, Kit Kat , M&Ms . I used to hate getting pennys or PAL bubble gum so I usually try to make the kids happy..and me too, snuck plenty of Kit Kats this week already.

Whatever my husband likes so he can have the left overs

Happy Halloween everybody. We actually give away a little of everything too bad I have to go to work today been on vacation all week and I don't want to go back.

We had all kinds of good stuff and have alot of left overs because we didn't get the trick & treaters like we did the past years. Very slow for us espicialy for a Saturday....:-/

I don't know where you may live but my block was extremely busy. In fact my Wife opened up 2 more bags of Candy. We have very little left over. By 5:30, mostly all were done.

Im om 144th and Kostner and we're usally swamped. I barely used 3 bags and the kids that did show up we're in regular clothes. Saw some old neighbors though and Family so it was a good day. One little girl did scream when she came to the door haha.

I live on 145 & Kedvale. I also had some coming to the door w/o any costume, including adults. If I didn't have so much extra candy I probably wouldn't of given them any but do to the circumstances.........

I'm a few blocks West and like I say, we had a real good turn out. As a few posted, a lot of No Costumes. Whatever as long as everyone had a safe time.

The weather stayed decent and that was all they needed just miss the usual swarm of kids in costumes I enjoy that...

We had a lot of kids, almost all were in costumes
I actually ran out of candy
first year that ever happened
I was glad to see the weather be good for the kids

we had about what we usually get as far as numbers go.

What we seemed to have more of is minivans full of kids being dropped off by my house (I live on a corner) that were not from our neighborhood (I know a lot of the folks in my neighborhood!) and then trick or treating in our area then piling back in the van and heading somewhere else!

Not sure if one of the neighbors was giving something really good out for their treat....

I know what you mean about the Mini Vans full of Kids:):) One thing I did notice about them is, they all said T or T and Thank You!
You know a lot of Folks BUT, you don't know me:):) Or, do you and just don't know it?:):)

We had a ton by Bremen....mostly big kids not in costume which kinda sucked.....I yelled at one that practically ran a little kid over in my yard!

Then at my dismay we got a school bus full of kids dropped off at our block!! A SCHOOL BUS FULL!! Not a single one even attempting to wear a costume nor were they under the age of 14.

But all in all Halloween is my favorite time of year and I love giving out candy. I bought 8 large bags of candy and at exactly 7:15 the last piece was given out.

Did anyone else come across houses that actually had signs on their door "no candy"? A few in our neighborhood did which made it easier to not bother takin my little girls up to the door. Although my general rule is if the house is decorated we will try going to the door.

Does anyone know why the cops had 147th & Pulaski blocked around 8:00 on Halloween?? They wouldn't let you turn left onto Pulaski. I heard something about a car accident.

I attempted to turn right on Pulaski (from west 149th) at that same time. I asked the officer (very politely I might add)how much of the street was closed off as I live on Pulaski. He replied; "If you live on Pulaski you already know how to get around" Does that shed any light on the situation for you? No. Well it didn't for me either. Well,.........except for the fact that one of our rather larger (and not in the tall way) officers has an attitude problem.

I had alot of trick or treaters with costumes! Had fun giving out candy, seen alot that I knew! Had to have the hubby run to the store for more candy for me and my neighbor! I live on a corner also, and yes, LOTS of kids pouring out of vans! When it got dark, was when the older ones came with no costumes. Had kids come till like 8 or 9pm! I would normally say it's over, but had a whole bag of candy left!

I heard the accident happened by Bremen HS, so I dont know why they closed the street off that far away.

I am sure they did it as a personal slight to you..I mean really wtf...if its closed its closed.....lit. 99.9 % of the time all streets are open and the one in a million a street is closed you f-ing people complain....here's a good idea...blame the drunk who caused the crash...not the Police who had to deal with it...and I wonder if one of your loved ones were hurt wuold you bi*ch about the size of the crime scene/ amount of streets closed? Do us all a favor....next time you sit down to type...think before you post...

The whole reason for my post is to find out what happened and WHY the streets were closed, I don't remember complaining that the street was closed especially since I didn't have to turn down there. Before you post why don't you take the stick out of your a$$ and relax.

You gotta be kiddin' me! More vulgar comments and illogical sweeping generalizations about us Topix posters? All I can say is, "Aww Man! We were doing so good". I think we went like two weeks with out one of the trolls showing up. Shouldn't we be done with this now that school has ended. Even Jerry and the dogs have gone back to school. Oh well..........There Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!
